Spurs had a tough day yesterday, losing 3-2 to Brighton after surrendering a 2-0 lead in the second half. Their defence and midfield looked below par, highlighting the need for some changes.
On the latest edition of Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast, former Spurs goalkeeper Paul Robinson, who is still well-connected with the club, commented that Gomes would strengthen the team after his impressive performances for England.
The Englishman and Tottenham
With less than a year remaining on his contract in France, Gomes, earning £11,742 per week, is attracting interest from Tottenham, who are considering a move to sign the 24-year-old on a free transfer in the summer of 2025.
Postecoglou is reportedly a fan of the midfielder and would be eager to bring him into the squad, though he may experiment with a different role than the one Gomes plays for his country. Given Tottenham’s strength in the deep-lying midfield position, former Spurs goalkeeper Paul Robinson suggested that the manager could push Gomes further up the pitch to play alongside James Maddison.
Since his move to Lille from Manchester United in 2020, Gomes has showcased his versatility, proving he can effectively slot into various midfield roles. Following an impressive full debut against Finland at Wembley, Gomes has earned a spot in Lee Carsley’s latest squad for the upcoming matches against Greece and Finland. His performances continue to draw significant transfer interest, making him a highly sought-after player.
“He’s certainly a player that would make the team better without a doubt,”
“An attack-minded midfielder is something Tottenham will be be looking at alongside James Maddison, and, from what I hear from people at the club, Gomes could definitely be an option.“
